In its third year, the 2010 New York Craft beer week promises you a week full of paired menus, educational dinners and a closing party to blow the hops right out of your hand!
The Week’s events range from neighborhood beer walks and bar promotions to tasting festivals, food pairings and beer dinners with plenty more. Both those newly discovering beer and the experienced connoisseur will find ample opportunities to get involved and learn how well craft beer complements the enjoyment of any element of everyday life. The NYC Beer Passport is the center of it all, serving as a program guide to the Week and as a resource to craft beer enthusiasts throughout the city for the next full year.
